Endometriosis symptoms can mimic many other conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and delays in treatment. On average, it takes 8 years to get a correct diagnosis!
⚠️ Conditions Often Mistaken for Endometriosis:
-Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) – Infection-related pelvic pain & irregular periods
-Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – Digestive issues like bloating & constipation
-Ovarian Cysts – Lower abdominal pain & menstrual irregularities
-Adenomyosis & Uterine Fibroids – Heavy, painful periods & infertility
-Interstitial Cystitis – Bladder pain & frequent urination
-Myofascial Pain Syndrome – Chronic pelvic muscle pain
💡 Why Diagnosis is Difficult
-Symptoms overlap with many conditions
-No single test can confirm endometriosis
-Laparoscopy (a surgical procedure) is the only definitive diagnosis method
